Diaries Of The Wild Ones

Diaries of the Wild Ones is a collection of adventure tales shared by Aaron Shanks and the people he meets around the World. With an appetite for the unique and pushing themselves to the limits, these tales from the road, recorded on the road, will have you on the edge of your seat. Focusing on the weird, wonderful and sometimes scary elements of adventure travel both at home and abroad, it’s as much about the journey as it is getting home in one piece.

Needs a producer and editor, jeezus

Hosts are terribly obnoxious. Need some professional development and a producer and editor. Yeesh.

The podcast I don’t shut up about

You know those things in your life that you don’t shut up about because it brought so much joy, usefulness, help etc? Well this is my thing. Diaries of the Wild Ones helps fulfill my longing for a larger life and adventure in moments when I can’t be out adventuring. It also helps direct and inspire the adventures I do get to take while also helping to cultivate the lifestyle I want to have. It’s wildly entertaining while also bringing so much perspective and knowledge on just how big and amazing our world is. It highlights just how capable us humans are and can be. I’ve laughed, learned and am pushing for a more wild lifestyle because I have been touched by the incredible stories Aaron has been able to share.

Best pod out there!!

This podcast is hands down the best podcast out there but PSA it will almost certainly infect you with an insatiable desire to quit your job and blow your savings on a trip around the world... worth it

Great Podcast

Aaron does a great job of letting his guests tell their stories their own way. He has some amazing stories as well. Thanks for putting these stories out there for all to listen!

Great stories

I’ve enjoyed this podcast while on watch with our sailboat. My kids have enjoyed it too and find similarities to our lives. Good job and keep it going! Cheers. Greg SV Beach Flea

Australian Gone Wild... and we wish we could

Aaron and all his nomad, adventuring buddies/mates are living the “frothing” life and we who listen and watch do it with respect and awe and sometimes total disbelief. 😯👏🏼🙌🏼 ...And quite a bit I’m shaking my head wondering what the heck was he/she thinking. 😂 This podcast is an in depth look at the adventures most of us only dream of taking —the only problem is once you start you can’t stop listening! I love living on the edge through these stories and can’t wait for the next podcast. Great going Aaron!! Keep living out the dream & we’ll keep cheering you on. Best to you! Suzette :)
